Not enough sense to come in out of the rain! ‘Tis the season for wet. April showers bring May flowers, right? So, do you play in the rain or just head to the 19th hole and wait for it to stop?

Jeff Smith, Top 100 Teacher, answers these questions and many others we didn’t even ask. Another fun, funny, and entertaining hour of Golf Talk with the Award Winning Podcast, Those Weekend Golf Guys. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Don’t nobody have time for that! Not good English but an important element to take to heart. The downswing happens, from start to contact, in about a quarter of a second. That is not enough time to realize your alignment may be off, or the swing path not right or any problem. Not enough time to notice a problem and definitely not enough time to fix any problem. That is why the pre-shot routine is so important. It is the one thing that helps you swing without making mistakes, swing and make proper contact and swing to hit the best possible shot. Jeff describes in this episode of Those Weekend Golf Guys Podcast what makes the perfect pre-shot routine and explains how to make it happen the same way every time. And that is important! Also, today is the last day to vote in the Sports Podcast Awards. Please go to sportspodcastawards.com and look for category 9, Golf Podcasts and vote for us. Thanks.

What the hell did I just do wrong? You think maybe you lifted your head up, but that’s not it really. You say “I pulled it”. But your club head was in the wrong position at contact. We don’t know what we don’t know. You can’t fix your mistakes until you know what mistakes you are making. Jeff explains the most usual mistakes we amateurs make and what causes those bad shots. So, now you can finally fix the damn things. Another fun, funny, entertaining and oh so educational edition of Those Weekend Golf Guys Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Want to get better this year? No, really. Is this the year you are going to break whatever your number is? Here’s how: FORGET ABOUT THE NUMBER! During your rounds this season, don’t keep score.

Jeff explains exactly how to do this and why it will work wonders if you’re trying to improve your game. Want to enjoy yourself? Listen to this episode. Want to improve quickly?

This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys Jeff Smith talks about his trip out to Phoenix. One of his long time students, Tyler Duncan, was playing in the WM tournament at TPC Scottsdale and wanted a few last minute coaching tips from Jeff. So we talk about that and then the conversation turns to how different is it coaching a PGA Tour player as opposed to a double digit handicap player. It really isn’t all that different! So, if you’re a double digit handicap you should give a close listen to this week’s show and get a bit of a head start on this season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Should you get fitted for clubs before you start a series of lessons? It’s like which came first, the chicken or the egg type of thing. If you are using clubs that do not fit you, a teacher like Jeff could still improve your game but it might seem uncomfortable for you to produce some of the swings, grips, stances, etc. that would be necessary. If the clubs are fit to you, then everything would seem to be more easily ;earned like the stance, grip, etc. So, the question is: should you be fit before you take lessons. Abd the answer is (as it always is) That Depends! This is the same presentation Jeff is scheduled to make at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show next week in Orlando.

It’s time to find the perfect golf related Christmas gift for a loved one, or maybe a colleague. Our advice: First and foremost, DO NOT BUY A GOLF CLUB! But there are plenty of meaningful, useful, and thoughtful gift possibilities. This week Those Weekend Golf Guys give you three ideas. First, a nifty little doodad that you attach to your golf bag to dry your golf glove on those hot, humid, summer days when perspiration gets it all wet. Second, a new type of putter shaft that eliminates the vibrations that can ruin any putter’s aim. Barney Adams, formerly of Adams Golf, has developed it and describes it and talks about golf in general. And finally, Jeff Smith suggests giving Lessons as a gift. The whys and the wherefores that make this the perfect gift for the golfer will be explained on this week’s edition of Those weekend Golf Guys Podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week Those weekend Golf Guys tackle a few ticklish situations. First, are golfers really just big wimps who are afraid of noise? Every other athlete in the world does what they do in front of large numbers of screaming fans. Why do golfers always whine if someone is making noise? And then you have been told repeatedly to take your 3 wood out of your bag because you are a recreational golfer and don’t have a fast enough swing speed to make it work right. So, here are your choices: take it out OR listen to Jeff and Learn how to use it! Another great week of golf entertainment from Those Weekend Golf Guys Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What are the limits to swing speed? What makes it so most of us recreational golfers can’t seem to swing fast enough to impress anyone? Is there anything we can do to fix it? If there wasn’t, do you think I would have brought up the subject? Jeff talks speed. How fast can you go? Find out this week with Those Weekend Golf Guys. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys we talk about wedge shots. Why do we talk about the so much? Because they are the number one reason you can’t break 80. Your wedge shots suck. I mean you’re right there, just off the green in regulation so you chip or pitch or otherwise try to use a wedge to cozy the ball up to the hole but you skull it about 10 yards off the green or you stub it and send a chunk of dirt flying further than the ball. You swear a little, clean the mud of the wedge and try again this time getting it close enough to try that 20 footer for bogie. Maybe you should just write down a double on the score card and don’t become the entertainment for your playing partners. Jeff will fix it this week. Will you finally take his advice? And now for the good news, listen closely for your chance to win an entire barrel of Eagle Rare Bourbon and help raise money for the First Tee of Louisville.

We need more women to play golf. The ratio of men to women in golf is 88% to 12%, men to women. That is pretty lopsided if you ask us. This week we interview a woman who is typical of the women that are increasingly coming to golf as their first choice for recreation. Diane is 41, a mom, a wife, has her own business and has recently taken up golf. We talk with Diane about why she chose golf, how she likes it so far, and what her main challenges are.Her goal is to as soon as possible become good enough that she becomes a valued team member of any and all scramble teams. And speaking of scrambles, John and Jeff discuss the dangerous “this one’s closer” technique of choosing the ball to hit next and why that can get you into so much trouble. Do you want to score better at your next scramble? Then don’t pick the hard shots. Oh, and for more information on Diane, and trust us, you would really like more information, simply visit Southern Diane Marie on Youtube right here ; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8wHBms4rqqoRTFPAd_G-xA Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We all know we should get in better shape to play better golf. We have seen many different suggestions on-line and in magazines about workouts we could do that have been optimized for golf. This week we welcome Jeff Pelizzaro from 18Strong to the show. Jeff is an expert on exercise specifically to improve golf performance. He will tell us what to do and even more importantly WHAT NOT TO DO! Jeff claims there are many exercises (that have been recommended by the “experts”) that will do more harm to your game than good. As a bonus, here’s a short 5-7 minute routine to warm up either at home or at the course prior to your round for much better performance. https://18strong.com/efd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There is a caddie at The Pete Dye Course at French Lick who sent us a message that said: “…I love Jeff’s tips on how to play better. I have used some of them with the guys I caddie for up here. Makes me sound like a genius!” You, too, could be considered a genius if you just listened to some of Jeff’s tips and even play better if you used those tips! Like this week when Jeff explains how weight (not yours but the equipment you’re using) can effect your shots and then delves deeper into hot to get spin on the ball. You need this stuff. C’Mon, admit it! Your game will be better if you take these tips to heart, and maybe practice a time or two. Enjoy. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys Jeff Smith relates just how cool it was to be live, walking the grounds at Whistling Straights for this years’ Ryder Cup. And then we receive a challenge. The caddie that worked John’s group both times he has played at The Dye Course at French Lick Resort this year, Randy, left a challenge. He has heard John and Jeff talk about what it would take to break 80. Well, not only does Randy agree with Jeff’s advice, he wants it to happen at The Dye Course with Randy as the caddie.

We all talk about the basic mistakes most amateur, recreational golfers make and why they have trouble scoring well. So, John offers copious amounts of pizza for both Jim and Jeff Smith, if they can help him shave 6 stokes off his very next round. Well, they both take the challenge and assure us they can shave 6 strokes off John’s average score by his next round easily. And they can do the same for you. Listen how.

Connie Willis is the host of her own streaming shows BLUE ROCK TALK, as well as the weekend host for the overnight mega-hit Coast To Coast on over 600 radio stations across the country. Connie loves to play golf. One of the reasons she loves to play golf is on the off chance she may just spot Big Foot out there in the woods of a golf course. No, really, Connie is into Big Foot, UFOs, Aliens, and things that go bump in the night. While she tries to convince Jeff Smith that Big Foot is real, he tries to convince her she can actually hit an iron in the air and doesn’t have to settle for worm burners, no mater how often she tries to convince herself she is just “keeping it under the wind”.

What Is An Amateur? In the days of Bobby Jones it was a golfer who did not compete for money. It was a golfer who played simply for the love of the game. Maybe they were great golfers, like Bobby Jones. Or maybe not great golfers like Linda Zender (she finished last in her club championship this year). Today, however, it seems that “Amateurs” are simply golfers who haven’t yet turned Pro! Is there any place(s) for the average amateur golfer to compete these days? We talk about all the ways even a high handicapper can compete and have fun with Amateur Golf. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mere Mortals playing a game obviously designed by and for, gods. That’s what we have been doing this week. Playing golf with friends, old and new, at The French Lick Resort. We played a “tune-up” round on the resort’s Pete Dye Course. Ah, one full sleeve of balls later we walked off 18 thankful that it was over. You need to see some of the pics we posted at Facebook.com/golfguys to understand. There is no room to miss. The rough is not only thick, but the drop off from the fairway is sometimes as much as 50 feet. But it was great practice for playing in the Pro-Am of the Symetra Tour’s Donald Ross Classic being held at the Ross course at French Lick. This course is even tougher than the Dye course. Not a flat lie on the course! And the greens…don’t get me started on the greens. But we did play with a terrific golfer named Sophie Hausmann. She is from Germany, played her collegiate golf at Univ. of Idaho. Someday soon she’ll be a regular Sunday participant on the LPGA Tour. This edition of Those Weekend Golf Guys Radio Show captures the spirit of the fun we had. Thanks again to all our friends at the French Lick Resort. Listen and enjoy.

This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys we want to introduce you to two very talented women you will be hearing a lot from in the near future. One is Ava Bunker. She is 13 years old. At the age of 5 she fell in love with golf. A few years later she decided it would be her life’s work.

Practice for the moment! That’s the advice Jeff Smith, the #1 golf instructor in the state of Indiana has on this week’s episode of Those Weekend Golf Guys. Oh sure, there will be plenty of funny and entertaining stories about John’s rather difficult round at a course called Purgatory but then Jeff gets serious with advice on how to practice for the moment. Remember when you were a kid shooting hoops in the driveway? It was always “no seconds on the clock and you have to sink the free throws to win”, wasn’t it Or when you were taking batting practice and it was bottom of the ninth, 2 outs, bases loaded and down by 3 runs. As kids we knew enough to put ourselves, mentally, in pressure positions when we practice. Jeff has many ideas on how to do that now with your golf range time. We give you some ideas on some games to use to add some elements of pressure to your practice. Set up scenarios that are more difficult than normal. Try to create scenarios you might see on the course. Practice for the moment. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on the award winning Those Weekend Golf Guys Podcast the guys talk about distance vs. accuracy. As Jeff says, “the woods are full of long drivers”. So, what do you do? Well, Jeff first recommends you take away all the negatives at your set-up. Clear your head, use the right grip for you. You should disregard everything you’ve read that does not pertain to you specifically. There is a lot of bad information floating around out there disguised as golf instruction.

Let’s keep it clean. Do you have any idea just how much of an effect a glop of mud can have on the flight of your ball? Do you realize that some dirt embedded inside the grooves of your club is going to make those clubs perform totally different from what you are expecting? Here are some great pieces of advice for those of us who for some reason, are playing as sticklers for the rules.

On this week’s show Those Weekend Golf Guys talk about their fantastic trip up to Grand Harbor Michigan for the Grand Opening Celebration of the American Dunes Golf Club. American Dunes is owned and operated by Lt. Col. Dan Rooney from Folds of Honor and was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus. The trip was fun and the course was amazing. The greens were running fast (14 on the meter) and the wind was blowing (20-25 mph). The course has lots of sand which the guys found to be a bit problematic and the wind actually blew the ball off course on the greens. So, Jeff is giving tips this week on playing from sand (not greenside bunkers), putting on slick greens in a heavy wind, and all the other necessary talents you will need to play a course like American Dunes.
